If Obama Were Just Like Bush He'd Ignore the Intelligence Briefings

[KittyWampus]

You know, like "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In USA".

But apparently, many DU'ers want Obama to do just that. Ignore his intelligence.

It's as if some have their script pre-written and simply apply it ad nauseam.

1. It's all by design to support the PNAConomy anyway. nt

2. Yes, ISIS is right outside New York city.

It will be like D-Day all over again...

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Did we know the hijackers were in FL in early 2001?

We did, but no one was listening.

9. If we did or did not bombing Afghanistan would have no effect on the operation.

9/11 was a failure of communications between various agencies. Bin Laden could have been at the bottom of the ocean on 9/11 and the operation still would have happened.

5. The Higgins boats are getting ready to hit the beaches already.

Unless they come up through Mexico and hit the tequila first. Hell I don't know fool me once or twice.

4. Obama's much brighter and less evil, he's like a different species altogether. Gets no love here.

All this ISIS shit is continued cleanup after Reagan and Bushes Blunders.

And this isn't a "new war", for fuck sake, we've been launching airstrikes against ISIS for fucking weeks.

I checked several of the other progressive sites, none have the vitriol that I'm reading right here on this board.

Amazing.

10. Maybe he'll get another Nobel Peace Prize

Category: Not as Bad as Bush

6. True that

[treestar]

7. Further he'd be looking for excuses to use the military to conquer

As in PNAC Condi saying we have this great military but never get to use it.

8. Bush: Bombs away

Obama: Bombs away

Damn that sure looks similar. Is that what the ""bush is just like Obama"" are saying?

As for intelligence, the theory is that bomb, bomb, bomb is not the most intelligent way to make peace. Of course, bush did not want peace. What does Obama want? Can you tell us, kitty?

[NuclearDem]

13. And right on time with the absurd oversimplification.

[OilemFirchen]

11. And we'd be invading Egypt. (n/t)

[NuclearDem]

12. I've read some of the most ridiculous shit I've ever read here in the last day or so.

Like how this is the same thing as Bush's war.

[valerief]

14. If he were like Bush, he'd finish off the rest of his term on vacation. nt

[T Roosevelt]

15. Since the intelligence is saying ISIS is not an immediate threat

I agree - he should not ignore it. To do so would mean he was going to do something stupid...
